Seriously... with modern multi-paned mail readers, top-posting is a better way to communicate.
That depends on how you define "communicate"... It also assumes that everyone will gladly, sheepfully use "modern, multi- paned mail readers". You may be a sheep whose communications consist of little more than adding simple confirming, negating or further-detail-requesting bleats to others' messages, but "discussion lists" and many other forms of communication commonly engaged via Email by higher order, bi-pedal mammals demand more sophistication of all of the communicator, mail reader and medium... If you dislike "no top posting" because of neanderthals who haven't grokked that it is about better communication and thus mindlessly quote an entire message to add their simple confirming, negating or further- detail-requesting grunts at the bottom, then you are making a false comparison, as such stupidity is equally anti-communication-assisting as your preferred top-bleating approach.
